A Basic Guide to Spring Glamping

A lot of people agree to the fact that our warmest months, with prolonged sun-drenched evenings and lush green foliage, exotic flowers and milder weather, are the most desired times for weddings. Because of this, most of Ireland’s intending summer brides get the girls together in springtime and delight in their special weekend of freedom before they are joined to their spouse forever.

Teapot Lane has long been hosting these kinds of weekends for many years now and it’s the first ever Glamping spot in Ireland. They have perfected the Hen weekend and offer the best weekends in Ireland. When booking a Glamping weekend earlier in the season, be aware of the following facts on Glamping before selecting your venue:

Find out what the rate is and the differences involved.

Yurt – This is a sizable round tent which you could walk around in; they generally have a wooden floor, good beds, insulation and many layers of canvas. They usually have a wood burning stove so it’s possible to have them really warm throughout the chillier months in spring. Yurts are native to Mongolia where people stay in them during freezing temperatures in winter; hence they are like a mobile house rather than just a simple tent.

Bell Tent– This is often a round one skin light canvas tent; it might be on decking or grass. Bell tents could have a small stove inside and camp beds, you typically can’t walk inside and sleeping is on the floor. Bell tents are great in the warm summer months but could be extremely cold in Spring/autumn.

Lodging in a bell tent can seem very cool particularly when you fall asleep and the small stove designed for the tents goes out.  You must be mindful so you don’t   get up feeling cold and damp.

Facilities – Ask about any communal facilities

As soon as you have established what accommodation is available for your Glamping weekend it is advisable to take a look at the facilities, are there secure space for the Gang to chill out if the weather isn’t so great? Are there well equipped kitchen facilities? Does the kitchen have everything you require? Is there entertainment or catering offered?

Teapot Lane have caterers that prepare tasty buffet BBQ style and a live DJ to play tunes to dance the Buffet off under the stars or cool dining shelter if the weathers is great.

Is there a Campfire? This is considered one of the loveliest aspects of any Camping/Glamping trip, sitting by the campfire towards the end of the day, chatting, swapping stories, sipping a great vino or a hot chocolate and scoffing toasted marshmallows. Make sure you inquire if your Glamping site has a campfire and if fuel is made available.

Lastly, ensure and you bring your warm clothes and all your favorite food and drinks. Loosen up and have a laugh; make it a weekend to remember for a long time.
